10-year-old Parker joined Corny Rempel on the MIX Morning Show. When Parker was asked if there was anyone he wanted to interview, he said Comedian Matt Falk. The questions are brilliant, and the answers are hilarious!

A local family has been left devistated by a fire that's claimed their home and all their belongings.

Thankfully, no one was home at the time of the fire and no one was hurt but the house and everything inside is gone. The family didn't have insurance and neighbors have come to help. They've started up a GoFundMe page in support and are asking for people to give.

Parker is a big fan of Mix 96 and Corny Rempel, this year his parents got him something very special for Christmas.

Shirley Barca and Kevin Wieler came by the Morning Show to talk about a fun new way to bring in 2019 and support STARS at the same time.

"It's New Years Eve Masquerade Ball," Shirly said this morning. "It starts at 8:00 and even if you've had dinner by then, we're going to serve food all evening through. You get a free bottle of champagne at midnight, there's a dance band coming in, they do requests and you'll definitely want to be there."

Kevin added that it's not just a great option for those looking to have a good time and dance around, but for those also looking to support STARS Air Ambulance. "To be able to support STARS, especially with the roads the last little bit, we want to help them as much as we can and this is a way of doing it."

It's a new thing coming to Steinbach and Shirley say's there's quite the buzz. "People love the idea because it's so new and different. We're so excited it's going forward and the reception has been so positive."

Operation Red Nose will be in effect as well as they have a block of rooms reserved at Days Inn for anyone interested.

There's a couple ways to get tickets as Kevin explains. "There are several locations that sell. Harvest Insurance, Big Hair, Prarie Pickers Cafe and Sawney Beans. There's also a Facebook page New Years Masquerade In Steinbach."

The owner of the four Tim Hortons restaurants in Steinbach presented Youth For Christ Steinbach with the proceeds of this years Smile Cookie Week.

Andrew Heidebrecht says thanks to a great turnout and amazing support from the community, they were able to raise $12,723 this year. He also explained why they chose YFC Steinbach as the recipient of those funds.

"YFC does a great job of contacting with youth in the community and spreading the word of Christ to them and we just wanted to partner with them this year and back them and know that they are supported by the community and by us. We appreciated the partnership, it worked really well this year."

Rueben Singh from YFC Steinbach says they know the Southeast is incredibly generous and this just proves that once again. He notes these funds make a huge difference for them.

"This is going to allow us to continue to impact the lives of the young people in our community. We have been working with a couple of young girls lately who have significant drug addictions so it allows us to keep our doors open to do that sort of thing, to sleep it off when they need to, to walk alongside them and to take them out for a hot meal, those sorts of things."

This past Saturday the Mennonite Heritage Village hosted their fourth annual Christmas Market! And what a holly jolly time it was.

Admission into the museum only cost a tin for the bin, and right inside the main building, there was a children's craft corner, hot lunch being served, and of course a gigantic vendors market!

There were so many great booths and things to buy, including Christmas decorations, various baking and food products, apparel and dishware, and tremendous creations from artists including painter Mikayla West and Pointillism Artist Rudy Gruenke.

Inside the market between 11-12 and 1-2 there was also some lovely Christmas music being played by violin group The Rempel Trio, who played classics such as "Silent Night" as well as other Christmas and Hannuka-related songs.

The gift shop also had tons of great deals on Mennonite and Christmas-themed items, and for a small fee, there were also horse-drawn wagon rides. With the light dusting of snow, it certainly was lovely weather for a sleigh ride together.

Pickles came to the shelter near the end of July. Unfortunately, Pickles was thrown from a car window and left very malnourished. Through love and dedication from the volunteers at the shelter, Pickles is happy and healthy.

Personality wise, Pickles is known to be quiet but affectionate. Pickles is great with other cats and dogs.

The cost to adopt Pickles is $120 which includes 3 vaccinations, spay, tattoo, de-worming and rabies vaccination (totals over $300 privately).

Double Adorable Trouble

Say hello to Phlox and Aster a bonded pair of brothers that always love to play wrestle and are rarely away from each other.

Both are 3 months old. They came to the shelter very tiny and abandoned. As infants, they had to be bottle fed.

Since coming to the shelter, the pair has become a couple very active kitty's, always playing, running around and have become quality entertainment to watch.

Phlox and Aster are great with little kids, other cats and dogs.

They are a bonded pair which means they come together.

The cost to adopt Phlox and Aster is $200 which includes 3 vaccinations, spay, tattoo, de-worming and rabies vaccination for both (totals over $600 privately).
